Burn-in is permanent image retention on OLED displays when the same image is displayed for extended periods.

Screen Burn-In Test Guide

How It Works

The burn-in test displays uniform color patterns in fullscreen to check for image retention. OLED/AMOLED displays can develop burn-in when static images are shown for extended periods, causing uneven degradation of organic materials. Traces of previous UI elements visible on a gray screen indicate burn-in.

What is a Screen Burn-In Test?

A screen burn-in test is a diagnostic tool that helps you detect permanent image retention on OLED, AMOLED, and plasma displays. Burn-in occurs when the organic compounds in self-emitting pixels degrade unevenly after displaying the same static content for prolonged periods. Common culprits include taskbars, news tickers, game HUDs, and status bars. Because burn-in is essentially irreversible, catching it early or verifying its absence before buying a used display is critical. This tool displays uniform gray screens and specialized test patterns in fullscreen so you can spot even faint ghost images across the entire panel.
